The Wild Rover Brewery is a small brewery in Tampa, FL specializing in English, Irish and Scottish styles, with a focus on cask-conditioned ales.
The brewery evolved from The Wild Rover Pub & Brewery, a brewpub established in 2013 by father and son team of Derek and Ricky Wells. After a short while, it became apparent that the English style pub, and British ales, were widely accepted and popular with the local Odessa community. Derek and Ricky decided they wanted to bring their craft to a wider audience. In the summer of 2015, they began their quest to open a larger facility in order to meet a growing desire for their beer.
The facility today is located just a few miles from the original brewpub, in the north Tampa neighborhood of Westchase. Upon it’s opening, the brewery boasted a 4500sq.ft. English-style taproom, with a 15bbl brewhouse and an annual capacity of 4000bbls: plenty of beer for the greater Tampa Bay area!
